I wanted to post this cause it worked for me. 
My drivers side door would not open from the inside or the outside. It was like it was stuck between locked and unlocked. The door stuck closed so it was not going to be easy to remove the door panel.  I did research online and could not find an easy option to try.  Here is what I did. 
I leaned on the door between the outside door handle and the edge of the door to take pressure off of the latch. While leaning on the door I pulled the outside door handle and popped open. I then lubed up the actuator and operated the latch several times. It works perfectly now.  I won’t say that this will work in every situation, it is something easy to try before you try to take the door panel apart with the door stuck shut.

Thank you Fazah,

Lubing the Latch from inside and outside with door stuck shut worked for me.

While your solution did not allow my door to open, it DID have me focus on the latch instead of the lock/unlock slider! I sprayed silicon lube in towards the latch from the inside and the outside, THEN the door WAS able to open. Woo Hoo!!! I then sprayed the latch repeatedly with silicon while cleaning as much grease and dirt as I could from the latch and with the handle held up, I moved the latch open/closed many, many times. I also sprayed and worked the inside lock/unlock slider, the pull handle and the pull handle on the outside too. And for good measure, I repeated the same procedure on the other side.

    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
    • Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."    
    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
